Battles and flank attacks in Alentejo and Castile Branco
Extract from a London Gazette letter describing siege movements in Macao 1762 during the Portuguese and British defence against Spanish forces. It details Brigadier Burgoyne and Col. Lee’s night detachment actions at Villa Velha and the ford, the capture of enemy magazines, and orderly retreat of St Jago’s corps. It also notes Lt. Maitland’s dragoons routing enemies and the overall Portuguese allied stand under Count Lippe against Aranda.
